South Africa Car Rental
A list of the most popular car hire companies and that of the best car hire companies will look very different so I wont give you a list. I will tell you what a good car hire agency should be able to do for you and then you can use that information to see whether any particular one meets those criteria.
If you are going to need the car for a period of more than two days then you should be able to get a company that should be able to offer you a cover charge for the period than the usual daily rates and charge per extra km. A longer lease should qualify for a bigger discount when calculated against the daily rate.
Another thing that you can find out about are the add on features that you might need. A good car rental company will have roof racks for luggage and maybe sports equipment or extra storage facilities. Not for free of course I’m just saying they should have them available should you ever need them.
Find out the requirements of having extra drivers included in the lease agreement. Registering extra drivers means paying an extra fee, but since you are leasing the car for a long period extra drivers should be registered for free.
Personally I’m of the opinion that car agencies should be able to arrange your other requirements as well. That is book your flights, tours, cruises and so on. Although this will mean you paying more money. They should be able to tell you clearly the terms and conditions regarding your lease.
Most agencies will either not point out the penalties and conditions of breach of your contract. You should be clear as to what these are and how they affect you. Did I say I wouldn’t mention the popular ones I was just kidding? Hertz, Avis, Budget and RAV are just some of the more preferred car hire agencies in the country. I suggest you check out one of the following for a good deal:
